Sale Sold out
Unless stated otherwise, all used, antique and military surplus rifles are sold in as-is condition without any warranty. Upon request, we can arrange to have any firearm inspected and test-fired by a gunsmith for $40 plus cleaning charges. Otherwise, these firearms must be stripped and cleaned by the buyer prior to using the firearm. Military surplus rifles often have military (cosmoline) grease in the barrel and action which may cause improper operation if not cleaned prior to use.

Item: Chinese SKS carbine — wood stock variant (commonly called Type 56 / Chinese SKS family)
Type / Caliber: Semi‑automatic carbine, typically 7.62×39mm, fixed 10‑round internal magazine, pinned to 5 (stripper‑clip or single‑round loading)

Purpose of Employment (PoE) — short

Provide a compact, reliable, low‑cost squad/vehicle carbine for short‑to‑medium‑range infantry roles where simplicity and ruggedness are required. Typical employment includes patrols, vehicle/rail crews, rear‑area security, sentry duties, and training or ceremonial use.

Employment considerations

  • Engagement envelope: Effective at typical carbine ranges (up to a few hundred metres); best used for point targets and short‑range fire rather than sustained suppression.

  • Load/feeding: Plan drills around 10‑round fixed‑magazine loading (stripper clips or single rounds). Do not assume compatibility with modern detachable magazines unless the specific rifle was modified.

  • Accessories: Many wood‑stock Chinese SKS variants accept basic optics if receiver milled or an aftermarket rail fitted; bayonet presence varies by variant.

  • Tactics: Use for quick-reaction, vehicle dismounts, close‑in perimeter defense, and when logistics favor the common 7.62×39mm round shared with other small arms.
